Modernism was contemporary with Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, the creator of the windows being replaced, and he is in fact often described as a theoretician of modernism, and an inspiration for people like Le Corbusier - who specifically described Viollet-le-Duc as at the root of the movement - and Frank Lloyd Wright.

You go on to call it "typically contemporarily narcissistic", but the architectural
style of Modernism is not contemporary to us.
For startups, building up the financing for buying rolling stock is very difficult. There’s currently very little available on the rental market.

It’s difficult to just do a startup on general in this space (it’s sustainable mobility, but involves hardware, an old industry, old tech).

The state railways can afford rolling stock, but it’s extensive and takes a long time. They are not too innovative either, so may not solve the economics issues with new approaches, because they are too conservative.
what does that have to do with whether US employers should prioritize non-US labor?
You think asking someone else to do the research to prove a conspiracy for you is intellectually honest? Do we really need to get caught up in the details of how health insurance is a conspiracy to know that it is a conspiracy? Do conspiracies need to be coordinated to be successful or can they be informal, unspoken, and implied culturally so as to conceal their existence? Isn't worrying about those specific details actually a distraction? There is already proof that there are better systems by their existence world wide. Why don't you do the research to explain why the richest country in the world doesn't have a high speed train system and write a paper on it? Publish it on Arxiv, include physical reasons that it is not possible.
The data needs refreshing: The time from my hometown in Spain to Madrid is almost 2 hours shorter than it claims, as a new line has opened.

Ti might also be missing how new companies have recently caused speedups in other routes by skipping stations altogether: A stop on a high velocity train can be over 20 minutes if it has to go from full speed to zero and back again
I spent a couple weeks travelling by train across Europe a few years ago on an Interrail pass. I found sleeper cabins were generally pretty comfortable, though you do have to pay extra for them.

If you were just sleeping in a seat then yes I can believe you felt awful the next day.
Er.. I used it and that's what I thought?

Search goes out of its way to hide why I want and show me bullshit shopping ads and influencer videos. The overview at least tries to help. For now.

But I will emphasize: it's still not that helpful, it's just less corrupted than the main body results are... so far.
Hackers take over Google Chrome extensions in cyberattack
It's short sighted. Eventually the seniors will retire and die off. It very much feels like 'we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas'.
Apple and Spotify both pay 70% but the devil is in the details. Apparently Spotify gives out 70% of its revenues based on what percentage of streams the artist has that month. What that means is that regardless of what you listen to, a percentage of what you pay will go to the heavy hitters like Taylor Swift. There's an excellent chance that the obscure artist you listen to doesn't get much of anything.

If Apple actually pays rights holders based on what you actually play that would be a huge difference.
Great article, very well-written narrative, but seems to leave some things out.

From 2018 (please add tag)
The line isn't between detailed feedback and brief, uninformative feedback.

The line is between saying something brief and saying nothing.

Somehow, it has become standard to say absolutely nothing instead of telling people a simple no.

I've even had situations where people said they wanted to keep talking to me, and then went completely silent.
I'm tempted to do something similar for Gnome extensions, how straightforward is it to write an extension that does the same thing on Gnome? Gnome is a Linux desktop.
What value does the traffic have for you? Is it lost revenue from ads? Or are you selling something? If you're selling something, then the AIs could very well be giving you more sales than they take away.
Cyberhaven suppose to be a security company
----
The attack began after a hacker successfully targeted a Cyberhaven employee via a phishing email that was sent to Chrome extension developers. The employee, believing the email was an official Google contact, clicked the email and input their login credentials on the phishing page.
Mubi has a truly fantastic art house selection along with a few more accessible films like the recent critically acclaimed horror, The Substance.

It’s worth checking out on trial, or at least browsing the catalog, but the collection was too esoteric for me to keep a subscription. If you like art house, though, and especially if you’re cool with diving into unknown titles, it’s pretty impressive.
I’m not sure that’s accurate. The primary complaint I see (and also have) is applying to hundreds of jobs and not even getting a screening call. Haven’t seen many complaints about lowball offers.
It's easier to approach Forth as assembly-like than C-like.

That is, why are you factoring the code to use the stack when you have globals?

(Mumble mumble structured program, recursion, reuse)

If you move towards a global-first approach(which is what Chuck Moore seems to have moved towards, from anecdote), what changes is that you can substitute the word defining the variable for another word, later down the line, that adds the context, indirection and error handling you need. The mechanism can be added without changing how the word is being used, and you can still write a divide-and-conquer kind of algorithm in this way, it's just more classically imperative in style, with more setting of mutable global temporaries and every byte of bookkeeping directly accounted for.

Part of the minimalist freedom in Forth is that it is agnostic to whether you're using the stack or the dictionary. If you want the word to be unambiguously about a particular space in memory it makes sense to define it first in terms of "it accesses this static location" instead of "it consumes three things on the stack and shuffles them around and indirects one to a memory location and adds the other two", because that inclines all the words to be about the stack. Take the primitive approach - the one that maps well to assembly - first and see how far it goes. You stay in control of how you're extending the language that way. C preempts that because the compiler hides the stack manipulation, so the semantics of the function will default towards locals, and then further extension is guided around fitting it into that.

(And it's true that the compiler gets you to an answer faster, and black-boxes the interface, so you can use code without reading code - and that is coming at the expense of precision around details like this. Forth is probably not the right way, if it's Conway's law that you're up against.)
I guide immigrants who settle in Germany
There are ways of responding to some UNCLOS violations while continuing to adhere to it, e.g. the US's FONOPs.

Just because some states are violating it doesn't mean that we should throw the entire thing overboard entirely.
Most (not all) position descriptions for software engineers include requirements for experience with particular tools, applications, or 'frameworks'.

Would you hire a statistician that didn't have 'n' years of MS Excel experience, or had never used Pandas?

If I were a statistician with 20 years experience, would I even apply to positions listing those as requirements?

It's an interesting problem, as giving information on the position requirements clues applicants into the game they need to play and also runs the risk of turning some otherwise qualified people away.
You hear this or that in Germany. Demand yes, pay meh.

It's probably true if you own the company, but there's also disgruntled folks who apparently got treated like shit during their apprenticeship and who snicker at their former employers or dissuade would-be prospects when their field isn't doing well (boohoo poor Porsche drivers) or when they try to advertise a craft. At least the YT comments under several blue collar documentaries/adverts say so, but I know none personally.

Then there's an ongoing crisis in construction due to widespread financing problems (need two decently paid full time earners, no kids, to afford it with some certainty and no 30+ year debt slavery at least around where I live) and assorted crafts.

An electrician friend is doing okay, but not exactly great, at barely more than 40k pre-tax per year. Another one who is farmer on the side (can't afford to live from it) makes about as much in his profession (mechanic). I.e. forget single earner family and/or mortgage.

It's difficult to gauge accurately, because statistics are complicated and/or shit and/or biased, the employment situation highly depends on region and field and things seem to be changing at a crazy pace, not least caused by the recent economic shocks (war, COVID, a decade+ of QE), problems with funding pensions/bad demography, increasing competition in core industries, high energy prices and political indecisiveness. How much each factor contributes remains a mystery to me. Wealth m/billionaires seem to be growing fine.

Personally I'm more and more convinced there's no conspiracy and things really are as bad... The Japanification of Germany. At least our debt isn't as high yet.
Your claim that media outlets are no longer factual because they can't afford paying to be factual seems specious. They often make egregious errors that take a 5 minute Google to correct.

Instead of facts being unaffordable, it seems that lies and bias simply pay more (or at least the media outlets seem to think so).
This is one of the big reasons why it's so hard to get an interview these days, it's pretty lame.
> I also switched to only on-site interviews. My initial technical screenings are still done remotely.

Pro tip for anyone hiring engineers for remote positions:

Tell the applicant that there “might be” an in person technical assessment, even if you know the process will be 100% remote.

The amount of fake candidates at the moment is insane. The only thing that makes fake candidates self-select out is knowing there’s the possibility that they will be required to be somewhere in person.

Another trick I’ve used is saying “Oh, you live in Flint Michigan?? We happen to have an employee 20 minutes away, would you be open to meeting them?” And then suddenly they drop out of the interview process.

There are a lot of foreign scammers exploiting the WFH trend in the US to the point where it drowns out real candidates. It’s really bad.
I think the user should be prompted to enable new functionality that sends data to the cloud. I think there should be a link to details about which data is being sent, how it is being transmitted, if it is stored, if it is provided to 3rd-parties, and what is being done with it.

Maybe this is exactly what the GDPR does. But it is what I would appreciate as a user.

I have seen how sending metrics and crash dumps from a mobile device can radically improve the user experience.

I have also seen enough of the Google bid traffic to know how much they know about us.

I want to enable sending metrics, but most of the time it's a radio button labeled "metrics" and I don't know what's going on.
And to nit pick, it's not just the EU, for example the UK is still included post Brexit.
Ok I was intrigued for a moment and wondered why the page looks so damn old. Last update 1997 :)
No, "asleep" is the opposite of "awake". Woke is a different construct.

Maybe an antonym to "woke" could be "slept"?
I apologize for twisting the knife but-- the proper thing to do would have been to research the rules at the source, not to make up stuff or repeat things from third parties.

Wish I had found that section earlier, but I'm less familiar with the chess regulations so it took me a bit to assemble all of the essential parts.
There is a cheaper ticket for 12-27.
"Asking an LLM what it thinks about an article" is the new "judging a book by its cover".

Except it's even dumber.
Banning all American companies from outsourcing or hiring foreigners would result in complete financial isolation, collapse and likely balkanization of the US, and ironically far worse employment prospects for Americans than currently exist. All modern Western capitalist power depends upon the exploitation of a foreign underclass.

Yes, theoretically, the US could pursue its own Sakoku as a suicidal policy of "nativist" self-reliance but the premise that they ever would is ridiculous. I know people in this thread couldn't care less, but policy is set by people who actually do.

Americans can compete with Indian, Chinese and Mexican labor when they're willing to work for Indian, Chinese and Mexican wages, end of.
So you aren’t willing to put in the work necessary to get your site recognized in 2024 and you don’t see that as a problem?
Where did you learn this about AI generated music on Spotify?
Thank you, I had missed the section about jeans. I stand corrected.
Charge $x for a candidate to apply for your job. Put the money in an escrow pool. Pay it to the person you hire for the job.

Idea 2: Bid to have yourself reviewed for the job. Money goes in escrow pool.
have you ever taken a certification exam remotely from your own computer?
I can answer that question with actual numbers: 90% of my traffic comes from search engines. The remaining 10% is much more time-consuming to acquire. It doesn’t help that external links are downranked by most social media sites.
Ask HN: UX feedback for tool that sends a link to your TV
I've created this handy tool to send a link from your mobile phone to your TV:

https://link2tv.com

I'd like to gather some user feedback:

- Do you understand my explanations on the website?

- Is it intuitive?

- What can I do better?

Thanks! Marcel
I think their main complaint (or at least mine would be) is the laziness in many companies recruitment strategies. As an applicant in the software space I used to only apply to roles where I fit 70% or more of the qualifications but there is no difference in how often I get an interview compared to blindly applying to anything in the web space. I have 0 incentive to take the time to only apply to jobs I'm qualified for.

This is one of the few aspects of hiring I feel government employers handle better than private. My state hold monthly events where you can just show up and talk to a representatives and if you pass the vibes check you are virtually guaranteed a proper interview.
I wonder if the Starbucks and blue bottle coffee results are due to the plastic in the throwaway cups. The Nestle instant coffee (which comes in a glass jar) had much lower scores in comparison.
Only sort of. Lots of employees are only looking for any job and the adverse selection nature of hiring makes the typical job seeker pool look worse than average.

On the company side, only some people in the organization are strongly aligned with hiring. The vast majority are indifferent or even somewhat negative as new hires mean more work.
This. You cannot fight a purely defensive war, you must attack the enemy's logistics and command infrastructure. These are slways behind the ftont lines.
Irony from Amazon
That is the case with every LLM (except a couple research experiments) and won’t be resolved until the courts do.

Literally every tech company that uses LLMs would be in legal trouble if that becomes the precedent.
I've been running Fedora since shortly after Ubuntu introduced Snaps, and couldn't be happier. I haven't experienced any bugs whatsoever, running it on two recentish AMD systems, one with integrated graphics and the other with an RTX3060.

I even installed it on my homeserver several months ago, which is an older Intel SFF PC, and it's been rock solid reliable, currently with an uptime of 21 days.

It's a thoughtful, well designed distribution with mostly sane defaults and nothing I could describe as obtrusive.
This is the key, cold applying for jobs no longer work
Yep. Hiring managers are flooded with thousands of bullshit applications because job seekers are flooded with thousands of bullshit jobs, and/or unfairly filtered out of the funnel for real jobs. So now it’s a matter of sheer application volume for candidate employees more than ever, who after all are in a rather more desperate position than potential employers will ever be.

Besides the arms race with AI on both sides to filter/escape being filtered, the other problem is that it’s completely normal these days to use so called “hiring” more as cheap version of advertisement or a growth signal to investors rather than to indicate you are actually hiring.

I would hazard a guess that the average job-seeking application count for individuals has gone up not 2x, not 10x, but like 100x in many fields the last few years, and similarly for the time involved. And this happens without the economy as a whole even being in serious troubles. The only people that win here are the staffing platforms like indeed and linked-in, and the options in that space and in recruitment/staffing generally are decreasing as the industry consolidates with M&A. Brutal
EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into force
I don't believe I said or implied that anywhere: 'You're presenting a false dichotomy between "perfect user understanding" and "no user choice."'? Happy to be corrected if wrong.

Closest I come to presenting an opinion on the right way UX was "I'm not sure what the right call is here.". The thing I disagreed with was a technical statement "the only way to guarantee computing privacy is to not send data off the device.".

Privacy respecting design and tech is a passion of mine. I'm pointing out "user choice" gets hard as the techniques used for privacy exceed the understanding of users. Users can intuitively understand "send my location to Google [once/always]" without understanding GPS satellites. User's can't understand the difference between "send my photo" and "send homomorphicly encrypted locally differentially private vector of e=0.8" and "send differentially private vector of e=50". Your prompt "send data about your photos..." would allow for much less private designs than this. If we want to move beyond "ask the user then do it", we need to get into the nitty gritty details here. I'd love to see more tech like this in consumer products, where it's private when used, even when opted-in.
I do this all the time. Don't even have a fob to begin with but it's very convenient when you're in a shopping mall and are going to make your way back to the car, for example.

Also handy to find your car if you manage forget where you parked for some reason. Or to set a destination for GPS navigation.
Those pages are some of the most expensive square centimetres of paper in the world.
NATO is now patrolling that area, probably looking for that. Finland joined NATO in 2023, after seeing what Russia was doing in Ukraine.

It's a narrow corridor to patrol. Small boats watching large ships can tell if an anchor is run out. An ordinary fish-finder sonar should be able to tell if a ship is dragging something. Finland has many small coast guard vessels, and a long history of pushing back against border incursions from Russia.

The most recent incursion was [1]. "Since the beginning of August 2023, more than 1,300 third-country nationals have arrived in Finland from Russia without a visa. According to the authorities, it was clear that foreign authorities or other actors were facilitating instrumentalised migration. This phenomenon and the risk of its escalation posed a serious threat to national security and public order in Finland."
Migrants who escaped Afghanistan, etc. and ended up in Russia are apparently being given a hard choice - join the army and fight in Ukraine, or leave Russia.

So Finland closed the land border with Russia completely. Russia objected. Finland did not give in.
Finland started building a border fence on the Russian border, with surveillance gear, back in 2023.[2]

Lower emissions as well, which, I would hope we all care about.
> I’d arrive in a new city each morning feeling refreshed because of the train’s sleeping accommodations.

Oh man this has definitely not been my experience! Last I tried this I booked a "VIP" sleeper car with a private bathroom/shower, and it was anything but. The constant shaking of the train side to side coupled with a bunch of young American girls running up and down the halls screaming to each other all night meant I didn't get any sleep at all. To make things worse, the same girls making noise all night used up all the water, leaving me covered in soap with no way to rinse it off, and still 8+ hours until my hotel check-in. I can usually sleep anywhere regardless of noise or light or mattress quality, but sleeping a train is a new category of difficulty.
Most self-reported aphantasics also reported weak or absent auditory imagery
I did indeed.
So the cost for the basic level (quality managed, one target architecture) are pretty low - about 240 EUR/human per year. CI runners are free. Certification material is billed separately to allow speculative and experimental usage. You only pay for it if and when you need it.

A lot of projects can benefit from that level of assurance since we have a different support tier policy than upstream Rust, that is: we treat different targets as Tier 1. And you get signed installers for windows etc.

Also, with the upcoming CRA legislation, using a quality managed toolchain will make your life easier - one part you don’t have to manage.
Yeah I get that. My friends (the hiring managers) are in relatively large tech hubs (Austin and Seattle), so from what I understand 90% of the applicants have been "locally sourced". It'd be another story entirely if you had to travel a significant distance just for an interview.
> I apologize for twisting the knife but-- the proper thing to do would have been to research the rules at the source, not to make up stuff or repeat things from third parties.

Well, you are the one who posted the quote, which I used as the basis for my comment. I thought I had read it twice over, and saw no reference to jeans, hence my question. Not statement, question. I did not make anything up.

Did you by any chance add the relevant section of the rules to your comment after I asked a question? The proper thing to do would have been to quote the relevant portion of the rules, instead of adding that later.

So, no. Apologies not accepted. Sorry.
I use regular YouTube (not Music) for discovering music by way of playlist mix videos sometimes (such as the retrowave/chillwave/etc mixes by soulsearchanddestroy), but if I like a playlist well enough I’ll rebuild it in my Apple Music library with a combination of tracks on AM natively or in some cases with Bandcamp purchases. Music being tied up in YouTube long term is cumbersome, even with YT Premium offline downloads as an option.
Are you saying that most emacs users aren't in "SW development/programming"? Of course not.

Would someone not very carefully reading your comment think otherwise? Yes, probably.
They lost way too much trust across the board the last years, culminating in the Biden/Harris/Trump debacle.

Youtube/Instagram Reels/Tiktok is the (sad) future. "Classical" media is a zombie.

Google is deader than dead on the search front. But I think they'll go the IBM route, albeit more successful
It doesn't really matter, regardless of whether or not we agree with the rules, jeans are clearly prohibited in the tournament:
